Overview


House Warming is the second episode of the first season of the Happy Tree Friends internet series. This episode introduces two new characters, Petunia, a sweet-smelling skunk and Handy the builder beaver, and what problems his amputations can cause.

HTF Episode Description[]

Handy, the resident carpenter beaver with no hands, builds Petunia a lovely new home. How does he do this with no hands? Some secrets may never be revealed! The project turns into a disaster when a fire breaks out and Handy has to come to Petunia's rescue.

Plot[]

The episode starts with a blue skunk named Petunia watching Handy, an orange construction beaver with ironically no hands, build something for her. After he finishes building the present, it is revealed to be a brand new tree house just for her. Petunia happily hugs Handy in gratitude and bids him farewell before going to play in her tree house. Happy and content, Handy turns around to leave, but at that exact moment, the tree house catches on fire, grabbing his attention and making him scream in sheer horror.

Petunia, inside the burning tree house, screams for help. Handy tells Petunia to jump out, and he will catch her. She does so, but due to Handy's lack of hands, he fails to catch Petunia, who is now on fire. Handy has to act quickly to save her and sees a fire hydrant nearby. He attempts to use it, but realizing he has no hands, he scowls at the camera.

Handy looks back and notices a bucket nearby that seemingly has water in it. He runs up to the bucket and gives it a hard kick. Unfortunately, this causes the fire to worsen, causing Petunia to scream even louder. A blackened Handy realizes that he just kicked over a bucket of petroleum.

With Petunia still burning to death and Handy out of ideas, the latter resorts to one last tactic: stomping the fire out. Handy, with his big worker boots, begins to stomp on Petunia, furthering her injuries, but at least putting the fire out. Petunia, now a blackened and bloody mush, weakly raises her arm and gives an "Okay" signal while giggling weakly.

Goofs[]

  1. In the Classics Remastered versions from YouTube and MondoMedia, the intro has the paper effect while the episode itself does not.
  2. At the very beginning of the episode, when Handy wipes his forehead with his nub, the arm he wipes it with is much longer than it is in the rest of the episode and all future episodes featuring him. It also has an elbow.
  3. Handy is unusually tall in this episode, usually, the episodes after this one portrays him to be quite shorter than other characters.
  4. For an unknown reason, the treehouse burned although it was empty.
  5. It should be impossible for Petunia to get into the tree house since there is no ladder or door. However, this may an instance where the Tree Friends can climb trees with ease.
  6. When the house blows up, every part of Petunia disappears, except for her eyes.

    This has James Bond written all over it! This is the sixth goof from the images that are shown.

  7. When the house blows up, the explosion sound effects are slightly delayed.
  8. Petunia's teeth are missing when the treehouse catches on fire.
  9. Handy's ears should be visible whenever his helmet is up.
  10. When Handy turns around after the explosion, his tool belt is missing in one frame.
  11. When Handy looks at Petunia and tells her to jump, he has no teeth. This happens again when he tries to grab the hose and right before he begins to stomp on Petunia.
  12. The bucket of gasoline is directly where Handy is standing before he tells Petunia to jump down but is not shown when she is hugging Handy.
  13. Handy is blackened when he kicks over the bucket of gasoline, but the blackness on him disappears when he starts to stomp the fire out. This may have served as a brief comical/Looney Tunes-style moment though.
  14. After Handy kicks the bucket over, the landscape is completely burnt. But when Handy is stomping out the fire, the landscape is back to normal.
  15. Handy isn't wearing boots, but he is wearing worker boots when he is stomping out the fire on Petunia. However, this may have been done on purpose, since gags like these are quite common in cartoons.
  16. When Petunia raises her hand, she has four fingers. Later, when Petunia makes an OK sign with her hand, she has five fingers.
  17. After Handy puts the fire out, his pupils become inverted.
